Yep. He might not want to, but Biden is taking one last hit for the team. He’ll be absorbing all the criticism until the Democrat convention. Then the DNC bosses will install the candidate of their choice.
It would be interesting to see how Trump would poll against a generic Democrat candidate.
That could happen, that we go through all the Democrat primaries and caucuses, with Joe virtually unopposed.
And at the convention, almost all delegates would be pledged to Biden. But then if Biden withdrew or forced out at that point, all those convention delegates become free agents.
And that could set the stage, for the powers that be to install a Gavin Newsom or other favored candidate.
